Chapter 286

"Even you can't defeat her?"

Hearing this, Hill quickly asked Cain.

"It's not that I can't defeat her, it's just that she can't hurt me, and I can't hurt her either. There's simply no way to determine a winner."

Cain shrugged helplessly as he answered.

"If we encounter Sadako or a similar vengeful spirit, what should we do? Do you know how to develop a wave-based weapon to counter evil spirits?"

Hill asked one question after another.

"Of course, I do. I'll provide you with all the knowledge I have. No need to worry."

After saying that, Cain flashed a bright smile, looking pure and innocent.

Seeing this, Hill, who had encountered countless people in her life, couldn't help but blush. She had never met anyone as pure as Cain.

Suddenly feeling a bit hot, she instinctively stroked the Reality-Warping Cat to divert her attention.

"Speaking of which, what about you? What would happen if you faced Sadako?"

Hill couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Don't joke around! I have no intention of facing such a disgusting ghost girl!"

The Reality-Warping Cat immediately shook its head in strong rejection.

Hearing this, Hill didn't press further.

Their conversation left Bruce Banner utterly baffled as he looked back and forth between them.

Evil spirits? Ghosts? Wave-based weapons? What were they even talking about?

["Now predicting the universe where Sadako will appear."]

At this moment, a voice from the screen rang out, drawing everyone's attention to it.

["Sadako will appear in the Doraemon universe."]

As soon as the words fell, Nobita let out an ear-piercing scream.

"EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

His scream was so sharp and loud that it could be heard from several streets away.

His four friends beside him immediately covered their ears and collapsed onto the ground.

"Nobita! Calm down!"

Doraemon quickly punched Nobita on the back, trying to get him to settle down.

"Doraemon, what do we do?! A terrifying vengeful spirit is about to appear in our universe!!"

Nobita, with tears streaming down his face, shook Doraemon frantically.

He was naturally timid to the extreme. Forget ghosts—even a simple bug could scare him to death.

And now, facing a vengeful spirit as terrifying as Sadako, his fear escalated further. He could only cling to Doraemon, trembling uncontrollably.

"It's okay, Nobita. I'm here. I'll protect you."

Seeing Nobita's pathetic display, Doraemon sighed helplessly and patted his back in comfort.

"Wait! We can use the 'What-If Phone Booth' and wish for a world where Sadako doesn't exist!"

Nobita suddenly had an idea and excitedly proposed it.

Hearing this, Gian, Shizuka, and Suneo all became enthusiastic, thinking it was a great plan.

"No, that won't work."

However, Doraemon immediately poured cold water on their excitement.

"The 'What-If Phone Booth' only creates an alternate parallel world that has no connection to reality. Even if we wish for a world without Sadako, it would only send us to another parallel world to take refuge. The real world would still have Sadako."

Doraemon explained thoroughly.

Hearing this, Nobita and the others looked extremely disappointed.

"Ah! Then what should we do?!"

Nobita immediately clutched his head in despair, completely at a loss.

"Nobita, calm down. As long as we don't watch the videotape, we won't encounter Sadako."

Shizuka quickly reminded him.

"Wait, you're right! If Sadako is appearing in our universe, does that mean the videotape will appear as well?"

Doraemon only now realized this crucial point and turned to look at the screen.

The screen had already shifted to show Doraemon's universe.

Onscreen was an ordinary residential house, where a man was holding a videotape in his hands.

"Eh?! Isn't that our teacher?!"

Recognizing the man, Nobita and the others immediately exclaimed in shock.

There was no way they could mistake their teacher.

"That's Sadako's videotape!"

Suneo instantly identified the videotape their teacher was holding—it was the cursed tape that spread a supernatural virus to anyone who watched it.

"What a strange videotape… I wonder what's recorded on it?"

The teacher looked at the videotape curiously.

He had picked it up from his doorstep.

"Tsk, someone just threw away trash like this? How irresponsible. But I wonder what's recorded on it?"

Feeling a strange allure emanating from the tape, as if it was calling him to watch, the teacher couldn't resist his curiosity.

Driven by an eerie compulsion, he turned on the TV and inserted the tape into the VCR.

"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Seeing the teacher's action, Nobita and the others turned pale and screamed in unison.

"Oh no! The teacher is about to play the tape! What do we do?!"

Gian shouted anxiously.

"We have to stop him right away!"

Shizuka urged.

"Doraemon! Hurry up and take out the Anywhere Door!"

Nobita frantically shook Doraemon, urging him nonstop.

"I know!"

Doraemon, also in a panic, quickly searched for the Anywhere Door. But in his flustered state, he couldn't find it right away!

This made everyone even more frantic.

Meanwhile, the teacher had already inserted the videotape, and the TV screen started playing its content.

At that moment, Doraemon finally found the Anywhere Door.

"Take us to the teacher's house!"

As soon as Doraemon spoke, he opened the door, revealing the teacher in the middle of watching the tape.

"Teacher! Stop watching!!"

All five of them shouted at once and rushed toward the door, only to get jammed together in the doorway, unable to pass through.

"Stop pushing!"

"Someone get through first!"

"This is suffocating!!"

"I'm gonna get crushed!"

"I've got this!"

As the group struggled, Gian suddenly let out a fierce expression and used his strength.

With sheer brute force, he pushed all four of them through at once, sending them tumbling into the teacher's house.

"BOOM!!"

The loud crash echoed as they all landed hard on the floor.

But even with the noise happening right beside him, the teacher remained fixated on the TV screen, completely entranced, not noticing anything around him.

The video had already reached the scene of the old well, where Sadako was beginning to crawl out, slowly moving toward the camera.

"Teacher, don't look!!"

Seeing this, Nobita immediately shouted, then leaped forward and tackled the teacher to prevent him from watching any further.

Meanwhile, Doraemon rushed over and pulled the power cord from the TV, instantly shutting it off and forcibly ending the tape's playback!

"Eh?"

At that moment, the teacher seemed to snap out of his trance, looking around in confusion.

Beside him, Nobita and the others stared at him nervously, their hearts still pounding.
